- For a project which has not yet reached Stage 3, an SC may suspend the 5-stage process in favour of the fast-track procedure as described in 13 (to be initiated by a P member or a Category A liaison organisation of JTC 1) provided that:

the SC agrees that the intended fast-track document is suitable to satisfy the requirements of the existing project;

and the SC agrees to the use of the fast-track procedure and so notifies JTC 1. (12.1 Note)
